Answers to common questions about preparing a track, choosing a campaign and measuring the results.
What is LISTN, and who is it for?
LISTN helps artists, labels, managers and music marketing teams promote releases through relevant radio stations, playlist curators and creators. You can plan outreach around a track, follow campaign responses and use the results to decide where to focus next.
Which campaign formats are available?
Depending on the options available for your track, you can run radio, playlist or creator campaigns. Radio outreach reaches stations and programmers; playlist campaigns reach independent curators; creator campaigns connect your music with social content makers. LISTN Contest is a separate creator-led format.
How do I launch a campaign?
Create an account, add your track and choose the campaign format that matches your goal. Review the available targets, scope and price before confirming. The steps and required assets depend on the format you select.
What should I prepare for my track?
Have the track title, artist name, release details and a short pitch ready. Radio campaigns may need an approved audio master; creator campaigns may need links to your sound on the relevant social platforms. You can keep these assets in Tracks for future campaigns.
What can I do in Tracks?
Search for your song or paste its Spotify link in the Tracks tab. When available, LISTN finds the corresponding TikTok and Instagram audio links. Add your pitch and approved audio file to the track record once, then reuse those details when preparing another campaign.
What is LISTN Predict Beta?
LISTN Predict Beta helps you assess a track before choosing where to promote it. Paste a Spotify track link to explore available streaming and radio signals, estimated scenarios and suggested directions such as radio, creator or paid campaigns. You can keep tracks on a watchlist and export a PDF. Predict’s projections are planning estimates, not guaranteed results.
How does LISTN Creator Contest work?
LISTN Creator Contest is a separate short-form creator activation across TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Start with a track, choose your platforms and submit a brief and prize pool. LISTN handles creator activation, participation review and reporting. The number of posts, views and other results varies by campaign.
Can I use LISTN without a Pro subscription?
Yes. Eligible artists and teams can use Campaign Credits for targeted campaigns without a monthly subscription. LISTN Pro is designed for teams managing regular releases and adds broader database access, deeper analytics and shareable reports. Campaign spend is separate from the Pro subscription and its free trial.
How are campaigns priced and paid for?
The applicable campaign price is shown before you confirm your order. LISTN Credits fund eligible target submissions, while creator prices can vary by profile and campaign scope. Available payment methods appear at checkout. Monthly credits associated with LISTN Pro begin with a paid subscription month, not during the free trial.
Does a campaign guarantee airplay, playlist placement or creator content?
Stations, curators and creators make their own decisions about each submission. LISTN provides targeting, campaign delivery and response tracking; a submission does not buy an editorial decision or a guaranteed audience result.
What happens if a station or curator does not reply?
For eligible radio and playlist submissions, an unanswered request can be re-credited in LISTN Credits after the response window shown for that campaign. Review the campaign’s displayed conditions before confirming your targets.
Where can I follow my campaign results?
Your LISTN account shows campaign activity and responses. Track Performance & Analytics brings results together across your campaigns. LISTN Pro adds deeper analysis and downloadable campaign PDF reports that you can share with artists, managers or your team.
